US EditionEU Contacts X Over Hate Speech from Grok AI Chatbot
The Paris prosecutor's office is probing Grok's Holocaust denial and will analyze the AI's functioning amid complaints from human rights groups.
- On Wednesday, French authorities expanded an investigation to include Holocaust-denying comments generated by Grok on X, the Paris public prosecutor's office said, adding the AI's functioning will be analysed.
- Grok's French-language post said on Monday that Auschwitz-Birkenau crematoria plans showed facilities 'designed for disinfection with Zyklon B' rather than mass executions, challenging established facts of Nazi Germany killing six million European Jews.
- Screenshots shared by the Auschwitz Memorial show Grok arguing cyanide residues fit decontamination, citing 'controversial independent analyses,' with comments viewed a million times Wednesday evening on X.
- Adding Grok's post joins a July investigation into alleged algorithmic skewing and foreign interference, with the Paris public prosecutor's office reviewing X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, and company senior managers.
- Last month, researchers at Cornell University found Grokipedia, Elon Musk's Wikipedia alternative, includes 42 citations to Stormfront, while the Grok team apologized for 'horrific behavior' after antisemitic posts, and the French Human Rights League and SOS Racisme said they would file complaints.
